Trees get hit all the time. I feel safer with the tower in concrete and each leg grounded to an 8ft ground rod with #4 copper.

I still disconnect at the shack entrance when I'm not using the stuff but if lightning picks my antenna I want to take as much energy to ground at the tower base before it has a chance to go somewhere else.
